My first lesson with Miss Dania was very helpful. She explained core concepts of topics Iwas struggling with very well and made sure the lesson was interactive by constantly asking me questions and marking me think deeper about the reasoning behind difficult topics. She also explained how to answer questions based on the markscheme and went through exam questions with me thoroughly too.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive course at UCL or LSE. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with university applications. They can provide support with personal statements, develop interview skills, and help your child explore their subject beyond the curriculum, which is something top universities love to see.
We're in Herne Hill and my child is at a very academic school. How can a tutor give them an edge?
In a competitive environment, one-to-one tutoring provides personalised attention that isn't always possible in a classroom. A tutor can focus on your child's specific areas of weakness or help them stretch and explore topics in greater depth, building the confidence and skills to stand out amongst their peers.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience for your child's age and subject. You can also watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before booking to make sure they're a great fit.
Are your tutors properly background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a rigorous selection process, and we verify their identity and qualifications. We also require every UK-based tutor to have an up-to-date DBS check.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's simple to use and allows for engaging, face-to-face learning from anywhere.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. By patiently working through difficult topics in a supportive, one-to-one setting, a tutor helps your child experience those 'aha!' moments. This success builds their self-belief, which they can take back into the school classroom.
Is it just for core subjects, or can you help with university entrance exams like the BMAT or LNAT?
We offer support in over 300 subjects. This includes core academic subjects as well as specialist help for university entrance exams like the BMAT, UCAT, and LNAT. Many of our tutors have specific experience in preparing students for these tests.
Can tutoring help with specific topics, like algebra in Maths or analysing quotes in 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child has a specific sticking point, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to mastering it, using examples and teaching methods that work for them.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions throughout the school year. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your tutor.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there are no contracts or minimum commitments. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular slot with your tutor. It's completely flexible to fit around your family's needs.
